  • The issue is your mindset.

    You write bugs because you have something to learn. You’re so focussed on what you’re making, that when a learning opportunity arises, you are not open to it. You’re just looking to speedrun/hack it.

    You need to drop the delivery pressure and enjoy the journey. When a bug comes up, celebrate it “ah, you got me here. Interesting. What am I missing?”. Then you slow down, focus not on solving it, but understanding it. If you understand it, the solving is easy.

    If you consider learning “not progressing”, then you need to reflect on what benefit the pressure and delivery focus is.


  • In agile development. You do a little, release. Otherwise it is too big and may never be done. The fact they committed resources to improve this is a positive. The hope is they build on it and add more options.

    However, if they get trashed for trying, they and many other companies may not try. Why spend money to get a bad reputation when the spending nothing creates less I’ll will to the company. That is ultimately the decision Product Owners and Designers will weigh up.

    I think for progress, the best approach is maybe “positive first step but more options are needed for non-bonary for this to really make players feel comfortable”.

    From a technical perspective, separating pronoun hard coding from the models gives more scope to give more options in the future, however, as someone mentioned, there is a lot of art work needed on assets and animations so the new shapes function the same in all cases.

    Ignore those that don’t agree with your plans. Never let folk impose their morality on you.

    You want to go to college? What do you want to study?

    Life can throw you some bad cards all at once at times. Solving those little problems can make it less overwhelming and more manageable.

    Attraction is a subjective thing. You build a life you’re happy and confident in and people will find that attractive. Looking at your picture, I would be amazed if you didn’t find someone attracted to you. Be patient, it’ll come.

    The hormones has been pointed out as possibly having an impact. Maybe give yourself a few months break to see how you feel, then go again. I’m not advocating stopping or quitting, just a pause to tackle a few other life issues before going on with your journey. Life is a marathon and not a sprint and sometimes a rest helps get through that next bit.

    Also, sometimes anti-depressants can help at the lowest times. Worth considering. Counselling could be better if it’s something you can get access to.





  • Usually when you change your database structure, you would change the object that this is mapped into. If you were to change one without the other, that would be a monumental developer oversight. Adding a field without using it in many frameworks wouldn’t necessarily break it, so it wouldn’t be a bad change per se.

    Any change you make to persistence should reflect as a bare minimum, the object data gets mapped into. This would likely be part of the same branch, and you probably shouldn’t merge it until it’s complete.

    You’re looking for tooling to protect you from human errors, and nothing is going to do that. It’s like asking, how can I stop myself from choking when eating. You just know to chew. If this isn’t obvious, it’s a good lesson in development. Make one change at a time and make it right. Don’t rush off to presentation changes or logic changes until your persistence changes are complete. When you get into habits like this, it becomes steady, methodical and structured. Rushing is the best way to make mistakes and spend more time fixing them. Less haste, more speed.

    For example, if I add a new field. I’d write the SQL, run it, populate a value, get that value and test it. Then I’d move on to the object mapping. I’d load it into the code, and get a bare minimum debug out to see it was loaded out, etc. etc… Small tweak, test and confirm, small change, test and confirm. Every step is validated so when it doesn’t work, you know why, you don’t guess.

    This wouldn’t be illegal in the UK or many countries. Age of consent is 16 here. From what I’ve read, USA is an outlier that infantises young adults to impose mortality.

    Always weird because the music videos exported by the US are often soft porn and the music industry has a thing for barely legal girls.
